(Not to be confused at all with the original meaning of the term, world domination, which I wrote about)
We went through hard lessons to find and express our voice, and had to experience most of life as black sheep. We are not adapted to the system, because the system is false. Our biggest principle is to keep our original thinking and our moral compass. -- Mickey Eilon
Introduction: Origins as Outsider
Some might question my relentless pursuit of relevance. After all, I am undoubtedly significant to a select few: family, friends, and my love as well. Yet, the profound truth is that irrelevance is the precursor to oblivion, caused by the utter lack of recognition. Solitude, a familiar companion throughout my life, was but a hindrance of purpose, a surrender of the ability to contribute.
However I remain asocial at heart, and society will resume sabotaging itself by undermining the eccentric. It may even actively work to prevent them from contributing to it in a serious manner. Such is the moral pitfall of our social nature.
Those who cannot contribute, are discouraged to do it, or worse, hinder progress, are mere shadows of their ideal selves. A hindered self would be able to contribute less to their collectivity, and even to the grand tapestry of this world. Obstacles, irritations, or adversities in general, blocking the path to a brighter future. As we're expected to be limited by repression and by labeling, both repression and labeling turn into adversaries. Adversaries we're allowing to stagnate us, in the name of a world that does not care necessarily to see our true hearts.
Part I: Ceilings of Anonymity
I, too, was once dismissed as inconsequential by someone I used to care for. As many of you instead of me would move on, I reflect and criticize everything -- and everyone -- that moves, including myself, in my every waking moment. And I do it purposefully in my quest to become a better philosopher, and thus to better contribute to my readership.
It was a cold, brutal declaration of irrelevance that jolted me from the depths of despair I had once known. And I knew these depths would tear down my mentality and my own hopes if I'd let them defeat my spirit.
Breaking the Limits With My Heart
And without a high spirit, without a sense of bigger pride, how could I motivate myself to ruthlessly and mercilessly work towards the life I want to build, and to help the people I wish to help, with all my heart? Negative. The ego is best when utilized in the name of faith. Not necessarily religious faith, but faith for World Rectification. Should we remain humbled and thus feel less worthy, how could we be motivated to rectify this world of its emptiness, of its loneliness?
Negative. I've created Philosocom to help those who wish to be helped. If I wanted to be dependable I had to have faith in myself, above all else, and despite all odds. And I relentlessly honed my craft, as I developed the ability to destroy my own emotions using my mind, which can be taught as well as re-igniting them back using the power of the mind.
And as sad as I mean it, and as arrogant as it may appear to you: Many human beings are poor planners, and irrational by default. An ideal world would be one where people complain less about society and its current affairs, and use their ability to learn to solve their problems. Wars, political instability, crisis in relationships... Tell me, how many of you depend your mental wellbeing on things that you have little to no control over?
Do you think this is a healthy policy for you, to merely hope without the action required for that hope to come true? Don't you, deep down, seek to be happy? Seek to be healthier? Seek to love and be loved in safety, without fear?
If you indeed seek those, why condition your health and wellbeing under events that would move on with or without you alive? This isn't practical.... However, using philosophy to solve our many problems, and to use this discipline to solve other people's problems, is what we should use philosophy for. This broken world requires not only good intentions. It requires long-term planning, and finally, it requires the heart.
Part II: The Refusal To Accept the Present
Dying lonely and as an ill physical handicap is something I refused to! Refused to, because my faith in my help for others is what kept me living on. Despite all the misunderstandings, the miscommunications. Negative. The pain of the misunderstood, brutally honest altruist, had to be burned to the ground.
And as much as medical care helped me, it only solve the "how" of life". It does not solve the "why" of life, the reason to live on. Would you consider medical care, alone, useful, when there isn't enough spirit to endure the hardships of life? No. Medicine requires collaboration with hope to keep on living. Otherwise the hopeless man or women would find themselves needing medical care more than otherwise!
For in the realm of the departed, there is no resurrection, no opportunity to reclaim one's significance. No opportunity to be active, and therefore, no opportunity to contribute. How could I let this stand, exactly? When one knows he can help people believe in themselves, and treat them not like chess pawns, but flowers to bloom to the water of much needed insight.
It's like a gardener does to his lovely plants. What other joy is to pour not only insight unto the global garden, but also to do it with all your heart, and watch the flowers of this world bloom with new-gained wisdom and with restored faith for themselves, as well?
Socially-imposed, and even neurological verdicts.... We can use our spirits and our intellects to overcome them through ruthless demonstration, which goes far beyond mere, futile grandiosity. To not merely prove the ignorant wrong, but to illuminate a path for others -- to those we desire to be proven wrong, for the sake of a greater understanding of the universe.
Part III: Restless Ambition, For Peace is a Liability
My ambition, though it may sound grandiose, is to ignite a spark of thought in the minds of millions, as more and more willing folk, realize that they are more capable than they actually are. To see themselves not only for what they are. Also, for them to realize what they can, and might, become.
Not through coercion or manipulation, but through the healing force of the illuminating idea; Through the nurturing of the heart, and its ability to heal others from their suffering.
Self-importance, then, becomes the means to an end, with that end being a far greater, meaningful contribution. An increasing contribution, worthy of my solitude, of my ruthless asceticism, of my abstinence from the pleasantries of life, and from its many addictions.
For beyond the functions in which I obliged myself to faithfully serve, I am a mere cell in the cosmic biosphere. What do I care for complete self-gain when I see the pain of people around me? Why should I care as mucjh about personal achievement, when so many people suffer from a pain I can help reduce with philosophy and with my heart?
How could I ignore something I can dedicate a lifetime helping with? I could I ignore and deem myself a moral person? How could I not indulge in study for the sake of solutions and intellectual innovation, to the very same things many of you choose to accept in utter defeatism?
Part IV: Doubt of Current Greatness and Worth
Can we call ourselves great when we deem our fellow human beings utterly expendable? Could we be considered great, when our greatness is built on the excessive employment of harm, when our greatness comes without appreciating those who loyally help us along the way? How can a great man or woman be so if they treat those who help them, like sand beneath their boots? How can a person be great if his/her "greatness" stems from watching others suffer, and from voluntarily and happily doing pain?
This isn't greatness, but sickness.... Sickness we normalize, and then tell those we caused distress to "Go to your psychologist" and "Take your medications". The last thing the genuine altruist should do, is to adopt such awful methods, just because they are commonplace in our world.
Who Knows When Philosophy Would End?
A life unfulfilled, for those unwilling to embrace the irony of nihilism, is much of our core problem in being alive, as we ask. And so, I embark on a quest to optimize my potential, to ensure my thoughts resonate in every corner of this interconnected world.
We live in an age of boundless knowledge, where access philosophy should be the birthright of all. A tool for understanding, a shield against despair, a beacon of hope. For in the darkest corners of the human experience, where thoughts of self-destruction loom, philosophy can be a lifeline.
Why should I use the internet to socialize when I can use it to build a massive article empire to host that lifeline, instead? It seems like a better use of my time... and a better use of your time, to leverage this infrastructure of mine to improve your own life, too. Must we kill time by aimlessly wandering social media, by aimlessly doom scrolling? Do you see the irony of how many people use the internet, the largest -- and largely free -- library in the world?
On The Space I'm Hosting You
With me, you can learn and enjoy this journey of intellectual exploration, where it is not attacked as outside of intellectual contexts. I shall work to make philosophy accessible, make its relevance clearer, and highlight its life-affirming potential! Let us prove that every individual, no matter their circumstances, possesses the capacity for extraordinary contribution. One that can be done not only with personal gain in mind, but also with the reduction of suffering, in both oneself and in others, whenever they go about their work!
Together, we can create a world where individual irrelevance is vanquished, in favor of the potential within each and every one of us! Our human potential is not as restricted as you think! Niether in others. Neither in yourself!
Let us dominate the world... together.
Let's smile back because we might be more significant than we think. The ability to ask questions and search for the answers makes human lives worth living. -- Ms. Tamara Moskal
